Recently I decided that I needed to be a bit more healthy, so I started to look around at different things that could help me. I didn't just want a quick fix to my weight problem, I wanted to be healthy so that I can turn 60 happy, fun and full of life. I had noticed on a friends facebook page that she was selling Plexus, at first I was a bit turned off by her constant posting about it but at the same time I was intrigued by what I was reading. I had issues with foggy brain, yeast overgrowth and being over weight. Eventually I gave in and attended a meeting that talked about the product and how you could make money selling it. I had a really good feeling about it and a few names of people came to mind that I knew could benefit from it, so I signed up as an ambassador just so I could get the product at a lower cost, little did I know I would become very motivated to build this business. I was invited to do a summer challenge with my group and part of it was to get the book Rock Your Network Marketing Business, in it we are told to write our Why down so here goes.....
I have several reasons why I want to build up my business so that I can earn enough to fulfill the wishes of my heart.
First; Growing up I was told on a pretty regular basis that I was in someway just not good enough, that my brothers were better at things, whether it was weight or sports or whatever. What was interesting is that I knew they were wrong but as life went on I continued to be around this kind of person up to the point that I married a verbally and emotionally abusive person, (I can't call him a man) I was blessed by a very loving Heavenly Father to be able to escape out of this marriage and have spent the last 4 years healing and learning who I am and how much I am loved by Heavenly Father. I want to be able to help those in similar circumstances get out and live happy lives as I have been blessed to do, I want to have my own Life/Health coaching business.
Second; I was a single mom for several years and during that time I put myself through school and became a nurse. We were dirt poor and even though we had what we needed and never went hungry or without a place to live, there were many things I couldn't do with them. I also lived in survival mode and didn't really plan to well for my future, I want to build a business so that no only will I be financially stable but my family will be as well.
Third; I have been a nurse for 18 years, I have loved every minute of it but being in the ER that long takes it toll on a body. I loved helping people and most of all I loved giving hope to those that were hopeless and I loved end of life, so I decided I would go back to school and become a counselor helping people. Since having those thoughts many things have come my way that I know I need to do. I have been introduced to energy healing which has helped me to let go of many emotions that I have been holding on to for way to long. I want to pass what I have learned on to others that need it.
Fourth and most importantly; I want to be able to have the financial freedom and time to be able to serve my Heavenly Father in any way that He will need me.....
So now my why is declared, it is time to get busy :)

Family isn't always about the DNA
Today as I listened to conference a talk really hit me.
As Brent Nielsen spoke about the parable of the prodigal son, he related a personal story about his sister who left the church and how patient and loving his family were toward her, until the day that she returned to full activity in the church. Great story that I did enjoy, because that's how it should be when a family member struggles, they should be loved, prayed for, encouraged and helped out in any way they need. We should always look for the one....
But........
Wonder if you don't have that awesome family that loves unconditionally? Wonder if your church going family is actually down right mean to you??
I made some serious mistakes in my life that I am sure caused my parents great heartache and for that I will be forever sorry and while I know that I was loved, it wasn't that perfect story of patience, love, encouragement and prayer. I faced some pretty harsh criticism and was looked down on, never measuring up. I take full responsibility for the choices I made and I did all that I was supposed to do to repent and come back in to full church fellowship. I did have family pulling for me, praying and encouraging me but it was not the family here on this earth, it was my family in Heaven that never lost sight of me, especially my brother Bruce who knew that my life would be hard and did all he could to get people to take care of me. Just prior to him going to Viet Nam, he took both of my older brothers in a room and told them that my life was going to be hard and he needed them to promise him they would watch out for me, the brother that told me about this said it was not just a promise it was a covenant, however, they didn't live up to the promise they had made.
It was a loving Heavenly Father who had me in His very watchful eye helping me along the path that was meant just for me. I had friends that loved me as their own, that never judged me even though they didn't always agree with my decisions, While I didn't have what you would consider the model family I did have many tender mercies come my way, I was shown in a million different ways how much I was loved and cared for. I had a large number of people that were brought into my life that loved me, prayed for me and encouraged me until I could see for myself what I should be doing. They are dear friends that I have a very close bond with and consider family.
So, it's ok !! If you find you are out in this big world feeling like you are standing alone in the storm, I promise you that you are not. Heavenly Father is always there and He has a plan that He implements every moment, and the people that you need the most and that can help you the most will always be there, He will make sure of that because....He loves you

Getting Started
I am excited to start this blog, it is my wish that I can share life experiences and ways that I have navigated through the jungle of life. While it hasn't always been easy I wouldn't change a thing, because I wouldn't be the strong, confident dynamic woman I am today had I not experienced life as a single mom, as a survivor of depression and low self worth, a nurse, a grandmother and mother in law. I have many stories to tell and look forward to sharing them with you, stay tuned............
